I mean, the fact that people are eager to incinerate the earth to dig up some magic bit coins or to massively parallel poop-process a stupid linguistic statistical neural net because you think you'll make billions, no matter the collateral damage is all I need to know that silicon valley is full of sociopaths and should probably be buried, or something.

From where I sit, this looks like Google and HP working together to convince us that their version of Zoom is something new and unique: Google partners with HP to commercialize Project Starline for realistic virtual meetings https://betanews.com/2024/05/13/google-hp-commercialize-project-starline/

You'd think GOOG'd finally realize that the "throw spaghetti against the wall" method of product design isn't working too well for them.

Like, if anyone doubts this, I have some further explanation and examples I can send you on Google Talk. I mean Allo. I mean Hangouts. I mean Google Wave. I mean Google Jamboard. I mean Google Notes. Wait...

I uuencoded it (after compressing it) to save space (vertical space, especially) without actually tossing the function, in case I want to use it later.

Being silly, mostly. ;)

I think I have a thermal issue on my Octoprint Raspberry Pi.

37deg in the enclosure
65deg the raspberry pi SoC

@fmartingr

You're not supposed to mount the RPI directly on the heated build plate. 😆

But in all seriousness, 65ⁿ C isn't half bad for a CPU/SOC.

They're calling it "Wynsdey," which makes me wonder if the Addams family is somehow involved: Manjaro Linux 24.0 "Wynsdey" Officially Released with Linux Kernel 6.9 - 9to5Linux https://9to5linux.com/manjaro-linux-24-0-wynsdey-officially-released-with-linux-kernel-6-9

You can also get a Tata Nano for the equivalent of $4k in Rupees, but that does not mean you'd want to actually drive it in the U.S.

Hmmm. Tusky's not on here. Has any of you tried any of these? I haven't heard of any of them (but, of course, I haven't really been looking): 10 Best Free and Open Source Graphical Mastodon Clients - LinuxLinks https://www.linuxlinks.com/best-free-open-source-graphical-mastodon-clients/

I love the program, but it can be cantankerous at times. Everything works fine, except the SMS function gets overwhelmed at times and requires me to "whack" it.

Half my kingdom for a Signal client that works on ARM (and no, I'm hella not going to compile electron on my pinebook, get outta here, lol)

I've tried Axolotl via flatpak, but it just crashes on start with some kind of (oh gee) electron error.

NIIIICE!

@thepmofam

I haven't tried it recently. I'm on Armbian, so stuff might be out of date, but I'll see about giving it a try.

The problem is that AFAIK, the signal APK expects to be on a phone.

I'm not sure if it can be used as a second-class client like the desktop app.

I still need to read your Kobo review. It looked really interesting.

I got my grandma's first-gen Kindle DX. The 3G network doesn't work anymore, and it doesn't have Wifi, so I have no way of clearing her account or adding mine, but I can still sideload.

The battery doesn't last but a few minutes, though, so I might see about replacing that.

It would be neat to have a large-screen ereader, even if it's kinda bulky.

Not a serious dev, but I vaguely recall reading ~20 years ago that glibc (or was it GDK??) what designed to be a kind of object-oriented-ish C library.

Ah, that was it 😁

I didn't realize Glib != glibc 😅
